Diet of fish and veggies raises $266 for children in need
31/01/2012 / FEATURE
World Vision's donation box at the Parachute Music Festival in
Hamilton received an unexpected boost from two fund-raising
teenagers.
Cheree Kinnear and Larissa Frankhum, both 15, rushed to the
World Vision site on Friday (Jan 27) to make an impressive $266
donation.
The two friends had gone 40 days just eating fish, rice and
veggies to raise the money and they've already set themselves their
next challenge.
The generous girls have pledged to go a whole year without their
favourite treats; fizzy drinks and chocolate, to raise even more
money to help children in need in the developing world.
When asked why they decided to fundraise for World Vision,
Cheree said: "We just wanted to help."
A month in to this year's campaign and the girls are sticking to
their guns, determined to beat their 2011 fund-raising total.
